“Globally, fungi kill more than 1.5 million people a year. In the U.S., Candida fungi account for almost 90 per cent of hospital-acquired fungal infections, and in Canada they’re the third most common cause of bloodstream infections in intensive care units. More than 40 per cent of people with a systemic Candida albicans infection will die.” – University of Toronto
